Drawing this page was such an ordeal! My eyes are all puffy, my nose is all stuffy and I have a headache - all because I have this stupid habit of making whatever face the character I'm trying to draw is making! So yes, I cried while drawing Aude crying. I really can't help it. I've been holding back most of the time, but you know how when you hold back tears it just gives you an awful headache and makes you feel horrible? Ah, at least the next pages will be more lighthearted. I could use that. *sniffles*
On top of that, random improbable catastrophes have happened during the making of these last two pages (-_-); For example, I had just finished drawing the top part of this picture, and I was quite pleased with myself, thinking "finally, something I'll be able to sell". Then before tackling the bottom part, I decided to drink the last sip of my orange juice... Next thing I know, my juice bottle is splashing sticky orange liquid all over my face, the entire bottom half of this page, and the sketch for what I was about to draw. What the hell?! I ended up having to cut the bottom part of the page off, and draw what was meant to go there on a separate page (which is basically costing me money, since I won't be able to sell it as one). Then my cats kept trying to get to the juice while I was trying to get cleaned, it was a real circus!
And then, since I had to wait for everything to dry, I decided to do the watercolors for the previous page. I had to iron some canvas first, but my iron was full of ants! Ants! How am I expected to put my hand on it? o.O Then I found some non-wrinkled canvas, and the watercolor bit went well, but as soon as I turned my head for a second, my kitten decided to walk all over it >_< Then he left paw prints on the floor... *claps* It's just been that kind of day.
And then the scanner gave me trouble, and then when I tried to update, the server went down. Luckily that didn't last, and I don't think anything else can go wrong now... *crosses fingers*
